Skip to m'Lou
| I bought this player because I wanted to start doing the mp3 thing and thought that, given the price this would be a good place to start. If the implementation of my plan called for something better, I thought, I could upgrade down the line. I have to say in all honesty that I never loaded a single mp3 into it, because I found it's standard cd playback so lacking. The measure of a good cd player is that it can still play an old or fair-condition cd well. Not this player! The slightest imperfection and it was skipping or out of business altogether. Also, It was very sensitive to shock which annoyed even my daughter when I tried to fob it off on her. It eats batteries like a fiend in anti-skip mode. I gave it two stars because of it's neat features: a line out in addition to headphones out, a backlit lcd. Still, it's nothing if it doesn't do what it's supposed to. I'd look elsewhere if I were you. |

No good for exercising, Fine for sitting.
| I bought this to play MP3s while walking / exercising. It is unusable for that purpose. It skips very often (like every minute) when in motion and when it starts to skip I have to stand still for a few seconds for it continue. Perhaps my unit is defective. It was cheap and is usable for sitting in one place so I won't bother returning it but I do have to buy a new portable MP3 player to walk around with. I'll probably find an ac adapter for this and leave it at work. For the price if it gets stolen it's no big deal. |

Rio Volt SP60
| After ordering a Rio Volt SP60 MP3/CD player, I found it could not play MP3 CD's. I was sent another unit and it too would not play MP3. The MP3 CD was burned on a PC and plays on other MP3 compatible players (i.e SP50). |
